Analysis

Curve Steepening Signals Macro Regime Shift Underway

The 2s10s spread has blown out to +97bp (10Y at 4.66% vs 2Y at 3.69%), with the long end backing up (+0.54% today) while the front end rallies (-0.40%). This is a textbook bear steepening pattern that historically coincides with term premium repricing — either growth re-acceleration or fiscal concern. For risk assets, the benign interpretation (growth) supports the current rally, but if 10Y breaches 4.75-4.80% it becomes a headwind for duration-sensitive growth equities and potentially caps crypto's beta trade.
